Just wait until you have to remove some old slotted screws! Phillips are great compared to them. My house was build in 1925, I think slotted was the only option back in those days…
Found this on Wikipedia “The credited inventor of the Phillips screw was John P. Thompson who, in 1932, patented (#1,908,080) a recessed cruciform screw and in 1933, a screwdriver for it.”

You would think the screw and screwdriver would come hand in hand the same year. But I guess even he struggled with how to not strip them.
